Button

Easily create nice looking buttons, which come in different styles.

Usage

To apply this component, add the .uk-button class and a modifier such as .uk-button-default to an <a> or <button> element. Add the disabled attribute to a <button> element to disable the button.

<a class="uk-button uk-button-default" href=""></a>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default"></button>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default" disabled></button>

Link

<p uk-margin>
    <a class="uk-button uk-button-default" href="#">Link</a>
    <button class="uk-button uk-button-default">Button</button>
    <button class="uk-button uk-button-default" disabled>Disabled</button>
</p>

Note If you are displaying a number of buttons in a row, you can add a top margin to them, when they stack on smaller viewports. Just add the uk-margin attribute from the Margin component to their parent element.

There are several style modifiers available. Just add one of the following classes to apply a different look.

Class	Description
`.uk-button-default`	Default button style.
`.uk-button-primary`	Indicates the primary action.
`.uk-button-secondary`	Indicates an important action.
`.uk-button-danger`	Indicates a dangerous or negative action.
`.uk-button-text`	Applies an typographic style.

<div uk-dropdown></div>

- Active
- Item
- Header
- Item

            <li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
            <li class="uk-nav-header">Header</li>

            <li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
        </ul>

Button group with dropdowns

Use button groups to split buttons into a standard action on the left and a dropdown toggle on the right. Just wrap the toggling button and the drop or dropdown inside a <div> element and add the .uk-inline class from the Utility component.

<!-- A button group with a dropdown -->
<div class="uk-button-group">
    <button class="uk-button uk-button-default"></button>
    <div class="uk-inline">

        <!-- The button toggling the dropdown -->
        <button class="uk-button uk-button-default" type="button"></button>
        <div uk-dropdown="mode: click; target: !.uk-button-group;"></div>
